weekender or daily rider?

[kingbee]

Just wondering how many are daily riders (to / from work etc) or just weekender ( two day trips longer mileage) ?

I hope to do both every day and longer trips weather permitting..

Both.

I do a minimum of 60 miles each weekday. Weekends vary.

I only use my car when it rains or I need to haul something that won't fit on the Nomad.

My pickup hasn't been driven in so long I've got to replace the battery. Maybe one of the weekends when I don't ride I'll do that. Nah , probably not.

I ride to work everyday the weather allows. The only time I don't ride to work when the weather is nice is if I need to take my test kit/tools. I always have my laptop though. Mac 17" MacBook Pro. Just fits in the saddle bag.

Both. If it isnt rainin' I'm riding.
I just replaced the starter on my truck because it plumb forgot how. Not entirely true, but the breaking point on the OEM '92 Ford starter was 102K miles.

Neither, I put the bike in the shed last November and haven't rode it since. I'm a fair weather rider.

I'd like to ride to work most days, but I usually only ride on Fridays because I can wear jeans. Mon-Thu I wear Dockers, which not only look funny with my riding boots, but they are very thin and don't offer much protection. If there was a locker room or some decent changing facilities at work I might take a change of clothes with me.

I have about a 15 mile one-way commute, and in the summer when I leave the house at 06:30, it's usually over 95 degrees by then. There's something to be said for the air conditioned comfort of my car.

over 95 degrees by06:30?
Man, do I have the opposite problem here. Even in summer when it gets into the 90s during the day I still need a leather jacket w/ liner at that time of day! It can start out a day like that in the 50s.

I ride the bike everywhere I can as long into the season as possible. I only use the truck when I have to. this year winter came early and I had to park it Nov 20. last year I rode until Jan 10.

[audiogooroo]

Me too Ringadingh. I usually ride through November if the weather holds and am back out occasionally in Feb and March. Rode last weekend and will take another short ride tomorrow.
Still too cold to ride to work though. Still in the teens and 20s when I go in the morning.

Both. I ride to work every day it's not raining or I have something going that requires I take the car.

well i dont work any more but ride evey chance i get

[waterman]

I try to ride weather permitting. However, like audio it is quite chilly yet this time of year. One issue that I have to look out for is rain. Have a 1.3 mile ride on gravel to get home. Last time I rode it when it was wet, well lets say try riding a greased pig.

[stambukj]

As long as its not raining.

[pablo]

I ride to work and back if it's not raining and usually some on the weekends. I've got cold weather gear and have been able to ride all winter. So far the coldest temps have been in the low 30s. I'm getting to like cold weather riding as long as it isn't wet and cold.

Ride all the time. New job two hours away, dont get to ride to work no more. There is something about trying to carry starched uniforms two hours on a bike that just dont work out.
